Abstract

According to Amsel's theory of frustrative nonreward (Amsel, 1958), the frustration effect (FE) is manifested in more highly motivated behavior immediately subsequent to nonreward of a previously rewarded response. Moreover, an expectancy for reward must be established before the occurrence of nonreward will result in FE. Within the typical frustration research paradigm, expectancy is defined operationally and data on the relationship between FE and expectancy indicates that FE is a positive function of expectancy (Amsel & Hancock, 1957).
